The Arj and Poopy Golf Classic

The Annual Arj and Poopy Golf Classic was held for all Arj and Poopy staff last week - here are a couple of shots of Arj's shots.

Production Blog II: The Bouncy Recordings

Arj firing up in front of the mic.

When Arj comes to town, we invariably get together and record a bunch of stuff - random jokes, things for the website and sometimes piece together episodes on the spot.

Will Ward is our resident sound recordist, who works mainly on feature films, most recently the film "Jindabyne" with Laura Linney and Gabriel Byrne. Arj and Poopy work strictly with very heavy and talented people. Will gets us into his studio on the Fox Studios Lot for our sessions.

The voice of Bouncy meanwhile, who at this time cannot be revealed just yet, is based on the East Coast of the USA. He was able to record his dialogue in his home studio, with just a bit of direction via e-mail, and it came back absolutely perfect.

So with the all dialogue in place, the next step is storyboards.

Production Blog I: Deciding the Setting

There's going to be a new episode, and it's going to have Bouncy.

So far that's the premise of the latest Arj and Poopy Episode. Gratuitous, sure - but it's time we get him involved. This ep will really be about introducing him, show a bit about his character and how he interacts with Arj and Poopy. But other than Bouncy, there still has to be some classic Arj.

Once we decide on that classic Arj joke, the next step is coming up with the Setting. Before "Unlucky in Love", we were getting claustrophobic always being inside Arj's apartment. We'd wanted to get out of the apartment for "Shpants" but that one couldn't really be anywhere else, as he was arriving home from shopping. So for Unlucky, we came up with the idea of Poopy train spotting out in the forest. The great thing about how Arj recorded Unlucky, (and most of his recordings), was there was nothing specific about the setting. "Unlucky in Love" could have been set in a cave or on the moon, it didn't matter.

So we're zeroing in on that joke now, and after a couple of episodes, it looks as though for this one we're going back to the apartment. Then we just have to decide on whether it will be night or day...
